Target: Fayetteville Police Chief
Goal: Ensure your police officer faces severe legal and disciplinary actions for his apparently brutal abuse of his K-9.
A disturbing video has surfaced showing a Fayetteville police officer allegedly abusing a K-9 during a traffic stop. The officer is apparently seen in the video striking the dog multiple times, lifting it by the collar, and dragging it towards his car. This incident has sparked outrage and condemnation from the community, as well as animal rights organizations.
The video, posted on Facebook by a bystander, apparently shows the officer punching the dog three times while holding its collar. The video then appears to show the officer draging the dog, suspending it in the air by its collar, and swinging it by the muzzle. The incident reportedly occurred after the K-9 bit the officer during a vehicle search, with the officer claiming the punches were necessary to release the bite. However, the treatment of the dog has raised serious concerns about the handling and training of police K-9s.
Animal rights groups and experts have condemned the officer’s actions, calling for immediate removal of the K-9 from the officer’s care. The alleged abuse highlights the need for humane training methods and proper accountability for those entrusted with the care of service animals. The Fayetteville Police Department must take decisive action to ensure justice for the K-9 and prevent future incidents of cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Fayetteville Police Chief,
The recent video showing a Fayetteville police officer allegedly abusing a K-9 has brought to light serious concerns about the treatment and handling of police dogs. The officer is apparently seen in the video striking the dog multiple times, lifting it by the collar, and dragging it towards his car. This incident has sparked outrage and condemnation from the community and animal rights organizations.
The actions of the officer, as depicted in the video, are deeply troubling. The treatment of the K-9, including apparently striking and dragging the animal, is unacceptable and highlights a need for proper accountability and humane training methods. Animal rights groups have called for the immediate removal of the K-9 from the officer’s care.
We urge you to take swift and decisive action to address this issue. It is imperative that the officer faces appropriate legal and disciplinary actions for the alleged abuse of the K-9. Ensuring justice for the K-9 and preventing future incidents of cruelty is crucial in upholding the values of humane treatment and accountability within the Fayetteville Police Department.
Sincerely,
Your Name Here

When contacted, the response from authorities was that the
person was “disciplining” the dog! Am certain this is NOT
the proper way to train a dog or get his cooperation. The
monster needs to be fired and the dog needs to go to a safe
place.
This police officer seems to have forgotten why he became an officer. Was he taking his lack of patience and perhaps his power by horrifically punching and swinging the dog? Does this action make him feel important? he definitely needs to enroll in anger management and until that time should not have any canine left in his company. This action is unacceptable. It’s unacceptable by anyone.

That is not how to discipline a dog
This is animal abuse and then people wonder why dogs turn on people
This man should have this dog taken away and taken off this job
He will never be able to be trusted with a dog if he does this
just on a search
Poor dog thats animal cruelty
